Spell vs Ranged Spell

[Keltorian]

Simple question: Is a spell that does not have a gun (ranged icon) next to it still considered a ranged spell if it is not a pulse or blast?

For example, Pandora targets a gunslinger with Self-Loathing (no gun icon). Does she have to beat a Wp13 to pass through the Gunslingers ability (can't remember the name) which causes ranged attacks and ranged spells targeting it to pass the Wp check or fail?

Ranged spells have the ranged icon, you can check page 41. for ranged basics rules.

If a spell has no ranged icon, the rules for ranged do not apply.

That is one of the quirks of the system, yes. There are spells that have a range, but do not have . Without that symbol, anything that effects ranged spells is ignored. Including, and this is ultimately the big idea behind it, the melee restrictions.

But its such a cool icon!

Thank you for the clarification!

Just wan't to 100% make sure I got this. The Concealed Weapon ability on a gunsmith only protects it from ranged attacks and spells with the gun icon. Is this correct?

[CRC]

Yes.

Actually to be perfectly clear: it only protects the gunsmith from ranged strikes and and spells with the gun icon.

(spells with the gun icon are ranged attacks)

OK cool. Thanks again for the help.
